I thankful for this one. Truly never saw it that way and it was a bit convicting as I often can get lost in the doom scroll trying to attain to knowledge and wisdom with out putting in the work and time for it before acquiring such wisdom. Thank you for this one!
This was very interesting, but there is one point that I would like ask you about, and that is your statement, "But I also know that the New Jerusalem is a garden city on a pyramid." I have sometimes wondered if the New Jerusalem might look like Minas Tirith, only larger and more glorious; so, my question is, how do you know? And where can I find out more about this?
Fair question. I represent the New Jerusalem as on a "pyramid" to make the pattern clearer. It is, of course, actually a very high mountain (Ezek 40:2), which is what a pyramid is a representation of. The idea of high places is that they are artificial mountains, topped with yet another miniature mountain in the form of an altar.
This is a very long read.
I scan speed read just now.
You are very much on point. We are being tempted with an “apple” of knowledge.
Distracting many of us from so much.
